The formidable Henry VIII had recently assumed the throne in England, and conflicting ideas about religion were fueling the Reformation throughout Europe. A scathing satire, Utopia was hugely successful and vaulted More to the forefront of the growing humanist movement. The story of Utopia is told by a mysterious sailor named Raphael Hythloday, who travels to the New World with the Italian explorer Vespucci and remains at a fort built at the farthest point reached. From there, he discovers a strange island kingdom named Utopia, a pagan and communist city-state in which language, social customs, dress, architecture, and education are identical throughout the country’s fifty-four cities. The Utopians have eliminated wealth, the nobility, and currency. Labor and goods are distributed equally and property is held in common. And there are no monasteries, alehouses, or academies to tempt a person to withdraw from society. Given More’s satiric leanings and eventual execution, is Utopia simply an attack on Europe’s wickedness? or is it a philosophical tract extolling the ideal way to live? Ultimately, Utopia navigates a course between the desire to create perfection and the pragmatic understanding that perfection, given the fallibility of mankind, is impossible. Wayne A. Rebhorn is Celanese Centennial Professor of English at the University of Texas at Austin. He has written extensively on Renaissance literature in English, Italian, French, Spanish, and Latin, on authors from Boccaccio through More and Shakespeare down to Milton.

这个时代最大的悲哀在于科学的进步。 宗教信仰被摧毁了，但是另一种新的信仰却没有被建立。 西欧资本主义萌芽与发展的时期，正是中世纪神学时代与尚武精神的瓦解过程。上帝十诫的传统约束力与道德追求逐渐式微。受最大享受度的驱使，拜金主义取代了上帝之爱。道德堕落层出不...  

一 首先从 103页（商务印书馆，2006）开始，莫尔借希思拉德之口叙述，乌托邦人有各种宗教，每个城市也是如此。而虽然乌托邦人信仰不一，却一致同意只有一个至高的神—密特拉（Mythras），但他马上又说，不同的人对这个神持不同观点。转而在104页马上又说：乌托邦人认为...  

最近花了两天的时间，终于把莫尔的《乌托邦》看完了。之所以看她，是冲着这本书的名头去的，毕竟，经典书目啊，还是想一睹风采。 书并不厚，仅一百五十来页，较之于那些动辄五百多页的大部头来说，此书可谓袖珍了。胡凤飞译本，北京出版社。译文较为朴实，通俗易懂...  

有一部电视剧名叫《爱在哈佛》（2004），在哈佛法学院的课上，法学教授问一名学生：What novel has deeply impressed your mind？那名学生愣了一下回答说Utopia by Thomas More。教授扬了扬眉头说道：It is a book which every judicial person must read，what part of the bo...
